    hey maxwellzen thanks for the hint, but how are you proving that it will be a .....1111110000.... or .....00000011111.... type of function in x.

    I get this "If the maximum is some number x then you're only allowed to use edges with a value less than or equal to x" but how can we say that this x is the optimal answer, or no other x left or right to it?

      If you can connect node 1 to node n in a way such that the maximum edge has a value at most x, then you guarantee that you can connect node 1 to node n in a way such that the maximum edge has a value greater than or equal to x. Therefore, the BS check function has the form ..00000111111..

      You are probably making too many copies of vectors. Checking if you are passing parameters by reference or as pointers in the BFS should solve it.
